Skeletal muscle is a plastic tissue that regenerates ad integrum after injury and adapts to
raise mechanical loading/contractile activity by increasing its mass and/or myofiber size, a …

Macrophages are one of the top players when considering immune cells involved with tissue
homeostasis. Recently, increasing evidence has demonstrated that macrophages could also …

Macrophages are necessary for skeletal muscle regeneration after injury. Muscle recruits
inflammatory monocytes/macrophages that switch toward an anti-inflammatory profile upon …

Inflammation is usually considered as harmful; however, it is also necessary for tissue
recovery after injury. Macrophages exert immune and nonimmune functions throughout this …

The skeletal muscle is a dynamic organ composed of contractile muscle fibers, connective
tissues, blood vessels and nerve endings. Its main function is to provide motility to the body …

Increase in the practice of sport by more and more numerous people in the Western
countries is associated with an increase in muscle injuries, and in demand for improving …

Recent discoveries reveal complex interactions between skeletal muscle and the immune
system that regulate muscle regeneration. In this review, we evaluate evidence that …

Muscle regeneration is a closely regulated process that involves a variety of cell types such
as satellite cells, myofibers, fibroadipogenic progenitors, endothelial cells, and inflammatory …

Effective repair of damaged tissues and organs requires the coordinated action of several
cell types, including infiltrating inflammatory cells and resident cells. Recent findings have …

Hindlimb unloading and reloading are characterized by a major loss of muscle force and are
associated with classic leukocyte infiltration during recovery from muscle atrophy …
